Winter Wear

I tend to be more of a spring person when it comes to colors and clothes. I love sundresses on my babies in fun, spring colors! Fall and winter sort of present a problem for me. . . so I am so excited to share a set of outfits that are nice and cozy and fall-ish.

The jacket is from a pattern by Leila and Ben called the Bolero Jacket. The skirt is the Double-Layer Stripwork Skirt, both from YouCanMakeThis.com. They were both so fun and easy to make! And putting the snaps in was a first for me. I kinda like it. . . only it definitely took some more trial and error to get it right. I still don't really like not succeeding on the first try. . . a weakness I truly need to work on! ;0)

And. . . I have enough fabric to make one more of each color of the skirts, so I thought I might try for the first time ever to sell them in my Etsy shop! I am still so scared of actually selling the things I make-- but I really want to do it. So, here's to overcoming weaknesses and fears!
